“This study aimed to develop and validate a tool to measure authentic nurse leadership (ANL) from the perspective of nurse leaders.” (Giordano-Mulligan)

“The healthcare environment is experiencing intense, unprecedented change that requires the reformation of previously accepted leadership styles and organizational infrastructures. The COVID-19 crisis underscored the need for authentic nurse leadership (ANL), which promotes healthy work environments (HWE). The development of an ANL conceptual model and instrument, called the Authentic Nurse Leadership Questionnaire (ANLQ), made it possible to conceptualize and measure ANL attributes from the perspective of clinical nurses.” (Giordano-Mulligan)
